As usual, a splendid time is guarenteed for all. This Blog will serve as a PRIMER for those who are interested in visiting the Park with us.

Day 4: Return to School Room
Another picture perfect day of ice climbing in Ouray with a threat of welcomed snow. The crew returned to the moderate routes in the School Room area of the ice park which includes moderate routes Wi3/4 grades. Pictures and accounts of a great day climbing will follow. Lee Jenkins had to retuen to Buena Vista unexpectedly which left John O, Bill Dudley , Steve McCay, myself and John Smith running laps all day long.....Started to snow and we packed up but left Naz's rope at the end of the day. we are headed back at first light to get her rope. No one will steal a fuzzy blue 60m rope just sitting there shivering thoughout the night at the base of the climb next to our PETA poster child:
